00:07.059 --> 00:09.090
We started off with the cargo

00:09.090 --> 00:12.539
operations , but they're required for

00:12.539 --> 00:15.060
building up pallets , doing gates

00:15.060 --> 00:17.171
operations . We have a training gates

00:17.171 --> 00:19.393
here , so none of it affects real world

00:19.393 --> 00:21.449
gates that we use for tracking cargo

00:21.629 --> 00:23.851
along with passengers as well . We went

00:23.851 --> 00:26.620
over that a little bit and then I had

00:26.620 --> 00:30.420
them do a training scenario where they

00:30.420 --> 00:32.587
were loading pellets onto the Highline

00:32.587 --> 00:35.180
dock to simulate a C-130 . And then I

00:35.180 --> 00:37.236
told them the aircraft broke because

00:37.236 --> 00:39.458
this could happen in the real world and

00:39.458 --> 00:39.450
then they had to download the pallets

00:39.909 --> 00:42.020
just to prepare them to run scenarios

00:42.020 --> 00:45.459
by themselves with myself and two other

00:45.459 --> 00:48.299
NCOs to be there to guide them if they

00:48.299 --> 00:50.521
have any questions , but we're going to

00:50.521 --> 00:52.688
be completely hands off with them . We

00:52.688 --> 00:54.743
don't know what's going to happen in

00:54.743 --> 00:54.500
the next day or two , so we always have

00:54.500 --> 00:56.667
to be prepared and trained , and we've

00:56.667 --> 00:58.833
taken these 2 weeks to do that . A lot

00:58.833 --> 01:01.056
of these airmen , they don't have a lot

01:01.056 --> 01:04.250
of experience and so . Trying to give

01:04.250 --> 01:06.361
them as much experience as possible ,

01:06.650 --> 01:08.706
especially being at a home station .

01:08.706 --> 01:10.817
The mission may have changed , but it

01:10.817 --> 01:12.928
really hasn't hindered us that much .

01:12.928 --> 01:15.094
We have had to be more adaptive to how

01:15.094 --> 01:17.150
we do our training . Luckily we have

01:17.150 --> 01:19.372
leadership that are in place where they

01:19.372 --> 01:21.261
will request aircraft , and we've

01:21.261 --> 01:23.529
gotten refuelers . We've got C-130s .

01:23.763 --> 01:26.112
To do missions with us so the airmen

01:26.112 --> 01:28.843
can see that , but if we don't have it ,

01:28.892 --> 01:30.948
we do have a Highline dock and we do

01:30.948 --> 01:33.242
have a Halverson that we can use as an

01:33.813 --> 01:35.757
opportunity for airmen to simulate

01:35.757 --> 01:37.924
going up to an aircraft and practicing

01:37.924 --> 01:40.146
their loading and downloading . If they

01:40.146 --> 01:42.257
aren't comfortable here , they're not

01:42.257 --> 01:44.424
going to be comfortable deployed , and

01:44.424 --> 01:46.535
that could lead to A hindrance to the

01:46.535 --> 01:48.757
mission . Plans getting delayed , cargo

01:48.757 --> 01:50.869
not going out on time , personnel not

01:50.869 --> 01:53.091
going out on time , and that means that

01:53.091 --> 01:55.424
the mission is not getting accomplished .

01:55.424 --> 01:55.335
So we have to make sure that they're

01:55.335 --> 01:57.391
comfortable here . Let them make the

01:57.391 --> 01:59.613
mistakes , correct it here so that when

01:59.613 --> 02:01.835
they go deploy , they're not relying on

02:01.835 --> 02:04.057
us to do the mission for them . They're

02:04.057 --> 02:07.489
able to do it . Mhm .
